ICYMI, it’s Jeans Month here at the Strategist and though we’ll be sharing stories and accolades about our favorite denim every day, I thought we’d kick off the month by sharing our big list of tried and true jeans for women. If you’re particular about your fit, we have a cornucopia of cuts and rises for just about everyone, including a new best-in-class pick for low-rise jeans, which writer Rachael Griffiths hasn’t taken off in weeks. The back switch on this Topshop pair is what sold her because it lets her “switch between having them hang low on my hips or a little closer to my belly button.” 

For the next month we’ll be telling you all about our favorite denim, but we want to hear from you — What’s the pair of jeans you'll never throw out? How many pairs of jeans do you own? We’ll share the results in a future newsletter.
